Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Bedtime Routine ?

Does anyone do BF (or bottle), bath, then bed (in that order)? 

DD is 6 months and sleeping at night is still an issue... We currently do bath, BF, bed and 95% of the time she falls asleep nursing.  Sometimes she sleeps for 7 hours straight and other nights she wakes up every 2 hours.  There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it so we're thinking that she's just used to falling asleep eating.  We're wondering if bf before the bath will help this.  Any thoughts?

  • we bath, then bottle then bed and she goes down just fine, sleeps for 3 hours, is up to eat, sleeps for 3 hours, is up to eat and then sleeps for 5 hours.  It just now became consistant but before it was random...don't know if that means we are both doing it backwards since neither one of our kids sleeps but just thought I would tell you that you are not alone!

  • At 7:45pm we feed her rice cereal.  Then at 8pm we bathe, lotion, pj's, bottle (prayer and book while she eats), then bed.  She's usually asleep by 8:45pm and sleeps until 7am.

     Hope this helps!
